Here is a list of plants that are safe for chameleons to eat...whether or not they will actually eat them is a good question. The only plants we have been successful with in the plast are various pothos and ficus varieties....please correct me if any are totally wrong or if there are some that I have missed. Also, has anyone had any success with other plants other than pothos and ficus???
